A record 7,274,833 plastic caps were gathered in less than two months from over 90 organisations across Malta and Gozo and deposited at GreenPak for recycling.
The effort led to the donation of a record €15,000 cheque presented by GreenPak Coop Society to the President Marie Louise Coleiro Preca, during l-Istrina.
GreenPak was presented with an official certificate from The Malta Records organisation in recognition for the record number of plastic caps collected in Malta.
Originally launched by GreenPak in November 2011, the fourth edition of Irriċkla għall-Istrina campaign saw the participation of primary schools and business organisations.
GreenPak’s official waste educators, along with GreenPak’s mascot, Green Gary, visited various premises to supply recycling bags and explain the benefits of initiative.
GreenPak is a Mepa authorised scheme and a founding member of Expra, the European organisation promoting producer responsibility schemes internationally. GreenPak is also backed by PROEurope, an umbrella organisation of 35 national producer responsibility systems engaged in the selective collection and recycling of packaging waste.
